I’ve been using this blade as well as it’s thin kerf model for about 3 years now. I also have a couple of Tenryu Gold Medal blades that I’ve been using for the same amount of time. The Forrest rips a bit faster, while the Tenryu cuts quieter and smoother, especially on cross cuts. Both brands are high quality, but for my most demanding, finest projects, the Tenryu is my go to blade. An added benefit is that it’s a bit cheaper than the Forrest. If you already have a Forrest Woodworker II or are looking for an excellent table saw blade, I’d seriously consider the Tenryu Gold Medal. It might just make you set aside the Forrest for those less demanding jobs.
The only complaint I have is about Amazon’s service as I actually received the thin kerf blade instead of the 1/8″. After looking up the thin kerf on Amazon I realized that it was more money, and so I was getting a good deal. I decided to keep the thin kerf since I have a 2hp contractor saw; I knew the thin kerf would give me more cutting power.
The blade is frikkin awesome!! Even without a blade stabilizer I am making extremely clean cuts in hard maple. The difference between this and what I was cutting with is amazing. Though the price is high, the fact that you are getting a lifetime purchase is worth it. Save up and get this blade; you won’t regret it.
I spent some time looking at reviews in both magazines and online before I purchased this blade. I was very glad I did choose it. The quality of the cut on my old craftsmans 3/4hp tablesaw is excellent. I have cut maple, red oak, cherry (no burning), ebony, pine, doug fir, bass, assorted plywoods and masonite with it and found the cuts to be very clean with almost no tearout on the backside, even without a zero clearance insert. One of the interesting things I did find about this blade is that it doesn’t sing, or scream though the wood as some other blades I have used. Its sighs through. Very quietly.
What can I say? This is the best saw blade I have used thus far. Rips and crosscuts are smooth as glass. I will say that a carbide tooth broke off the blade on the fourth cut I was making. I’m sure that this was an isolated incident, anybody can have a defective part every once in awhile. Amazon.com handled the warranty situation exactly as I would have expected. No hassles and no complaints. Had my new replacement in three days. No return shipping. Atta boy to Amazon for outstanding customer service.
I bought this for my 10inch Bosch Contractor Table based on the reviews here. I wasn’t disappointed. It cuts like a hot knife through butter. It was well packaged, went on easily. And as others have mentioned – it’s quiet. Maximize the horsepower of your machine by having the best cutting tool. It makes a huge difference. I found this out. The cost is worth it. I strongly recommend this blade. Most projects start with the cutting – keep it quality right from the start.
